One year ago today my mother was told that she had six months to live. She fought for four. Life is much to short.
Too often in our lives are we subject to putting our energy toward things that do not matter. I know that through out my life I have found that there is no need to waste time, life is much to short, invest it instead. How many times daily do you worry about things that cannot be changed through your personal actions? How many times do you daily think about things that have no concern of yours? I am letting it rip through my fingertips tonight telling you To do only what's important to you, let the other things be of the non importance.
I want to challenge you this week, whether it be daily throughout or just one day, to take a step back out of your view. Take a closer look at your actions and what is driving them. Is it sex? Money? Power? The constant feeling of "wanting to fit in?" Let me explain something to you, if you live your life wanting to continuously please others, you will be miserable. Be the best and most Authentic YOU that YOU can be. That isn't just once a month, it isn't just once a week, or a year, It is DAILY! From you reflecting on your drive, I want you to really say to yourself "Why am I doing the things that I do?" From here you can begin to grasp your inner drive. It is only through stepping out of where so many of us hide in the "comfort zone" and push ourselves to self reflect that we can reach our full potential.
My Mother, although gone, but never forgotten , left me and my family with this and I think that if you read it daily, you would be humbled and steadfastly hungry to reach your full potential:
Live a life without limitations; Embrace not only the joys but also the sorrows of life and to strive to be the very best person you can be of every moment of every day. To let your light shine; to stand against injustice; to never stop learning, to be courageous and to live fearlessly. Bring forth the spark of the divine that is in each and everyone of us and to love everyone.
Have a blessed and courageous week.
Trust.
Final thought:
"Freedom and love go together. Love is not a reaction. If I love you because you love me, that is a mere trade, a thing to be bought in the market; it is not love. To love is not to ask anything in return, not even to feel that you are giving something-and it is only such love that can know freedom."
Blessed be.
